The most famous Brussels citizen has been peeing on the corner of Rue du Chêne and Rue de l'Etuve for centuries and continues to amaze.

This famous statuette was created by Jérôme Duquesnoy, a renowned 17th-century sculptor. His style is in the tradition of gaillardes fountains. The artist gave a baroque interpretation of the urinating child motif. A Brussels citizen in his own right, he is associated with the city's events, for which he is usually dressed. From time to time, the flowing water is replaced by beer.

Manneken-Pis has a less media-friendly but equally cheeky little sister, Jeanneke-Pis, crouched at the end of the impasse de la Fidélité.

Vérifiez en ligne les jours où il est déguisé et ne manquez pas sa garde robe au Musée de la Ville situé sur la Grand Place. Sa "soeur", Jeanneke, est plus difficile à trouver mais vaut le coup d'oeil.

"monument" incontournable à voir, tout comme la Jaeneke ou le zineke pis. tellement petit que la première fois je suis passée devant sans le voir. Comme la Joconde l'on s'attend à ce qu'il soit plus grand mais c'est sympa de le voir déguisé.

À voir, même si le "Manneken Pis" est beaucoup plus petit que ce que j'imaginais. Beaucoup de monde devant la fontaine.

De très nombreuses légendes entourent l'histoire de ce petit bonhomme qui fait pipi, emblème de la Belgique. L'une d'entre elle raconte que Bruxelles aurait été mis à feu par une armée ennemie, et qu'un jeune enfant aurait réussi à éteindre l'incendie en faisant pipi sur les flammes. Ainsi, on aurait érigé une statue à sa mémoire. Enfin de compte, personne ne sait vraiment d'où il vient! Malgré sa petite taille, il reste bien majestueux!
